5 Free Essential Programs for Windows

October 5, 2009 Software Review

I love free stuff, anything that is free, works for me. I think that the world should have more free stuff available to us. We all spend so much money on bills and living that when it comes down to it, sometimes I just feel like staying at home and not having to spend a cent. It really seems to me, these days that everything costs money, and not just money, but big amounts of money.

Anyway so my point that I am trying to make is that when I do see something for free, I am the happiest person on planet earth. So I have discovered that there are many free programs, which are actually geared towards Windows. I have done my best to compile a small and unique list which may pertain to some of the many programs that you could make use of when working within the spectacular Windows platform.

1. Firewall
You can go to the Sunbelt website and get the Sunbelt personal firewall. This is great because it is able to actually work with Windows and it is very effective. Everyone needs to know how essential it is to make use of a decent firewall. Some people seem to ignore this little factor and get themselves into all types of unwanted computer troubles.

2. System Cleaning
You could make use of CCleaner. This is very popular and very well used amongst many computer users all over the world. It is vital to use this as your computer builds up some many files at one time, that you need to actually clean your computer system up and get rid of any potential problems which may come into play. The most remarkable aspect with regard to this special CCleaner is that runs through Windows and will actually flag the excess files for removal purposes. This is very easy to user and you are able to select which stuff you want to remove, and what you want to keep and then you can sit back and relax as CCleaner, does all the work for you.

3. Disc Burning
Now when it comes to burning disc there is one from Ashampoo Burning Studio Free which is going to be your best bet. Trust me on this one, as I speak from experience. You can go to the Internet and search for Ashampoo Burning Studio Free and you will find this lovely piece of software. This is easy to use and certainly does the trick. It also has a number of remarkable features that it offers with this software. The best part about all of this is that it totally free!

4. Instant Messaging
There is a wonderful instant messenger which is called Trillian. The most amazing thing with regard to Trillian is that you are now able to run all the instant messengers in one go. This will save you the trouble of having to have a couple of instant messengers. Another fantastic feature with regard to this remarkable and useful Trillian is that it also covers social networks. I know how much we all love Facebook and Twitter, it covers these as well. If you think that it stops there I have one more piece of information for you that will just to the many wonderful benefits of Trillian. The added benefit with regard to Trillian is that it is actually able to also tie in with Skype.

5. File Restoration
I know of a wonderful product which is made by the same group of people who also made CCleaner. This product is called Recuva and is geared towards getting back lost files. As you can imagine, this is exactly what the world needs. This product does one of the best jobs of file recovery that I have ever seen. The fantastic element with regard to this is it is completely free so you have nothing to lose.
